Juventus keeping Pogba on contract after doping suspension

Juventus are keeping Paul Pogba on contract after his doping suspension today.

Pogba has been banned from all football for four years after failing a doping test earlier this season.

The midfielder's legal team are immediately appealing the ruling.

Juve will keep Pogba on contract until the appeal is heard. He is currently on a minimum salary of €27,000. This was reduced from his previous yearly wage of €12m.

There is a confidence inside the player's camp about the appeal, with his lawyers rejecting an offer of a plea deal from the tribunal.
